Nature Park Biokovo
About
The Nature Park Biokovo, located on Croatia’s stunning Dalmatian coast, is the second‑highest mountain range in the country, soaring to 1,762 m at its peak, Sveti Jure. Spanning 196 km², the park is a haven of karstic limestone, dolomite and flysch landscapes that host over 1,500 plant and animal species, many of which are endemic to the region. Visitors can explore a network of well‑maintained trails, historic mountain huts, and scenic viewpoints that offer sweeping views of the Adriatic Sea, the surrounding Dalmatian hills, and even, on clear days, the Italian coastline. The park’s Visitor Center in Makarska welcomes hikers and nature lovers with information, maps, and guided routes. Whether you’re a keen climber tackling the famed Sveti Jure climb, a family looking for gentle walks, or a photographer hunting for dramatic rock formations, Biokovo delivers fresh air, breathtaking vistas and a chance to witness the unique biodiversity of Dalmatia. Pack a picnic, bring sturdy footwear, and immerse yourself in one of Croatia’s most iconic natural treasures.
